What is Cost of capital?

Whether you self-fund your operations, have a bank line of credit, use co-counsel to joint venture, or have some alternative form of financing, there is a cost of the capital you use. That cost of capital is determined by a multitude of factors, such as any lock-up period; the interest rate and whether the interest compounds daily, monthly, or annually; whether there is an interest reserve; and other fees charged by a lender.

Before committing to borrowing funds, you should conduct a cost of money analysis. To this end, Virage regularly speaks with a firm’s accountant, CPA, CFO, or others to ensure that you get what you expect. With Virage, you will get funds priced fairly and on good terms.
